IOA Summer Training in Seattle

The International Ombudsman Association presents several training opportunities July 16 through 20 in Seattle. New ombuds should take Ombudsman 101 and 101 Plus, which cover critical skills and practice issues. Specialized courses include "Legal Issue in an Everyday Ombudsman Practice: Answers to the Questions You Have Always Wanted to Ask"; and "Defining Effectiveness for the Ombudsman Office." Priority registration closes June 1. (IOA Info.)

Yes, these courses are expensive, but they are outstanding and no other organization offers anything comparable.

Organizational Ombuds

Organizational Ombuds serve as a confidential, independent, neutral and informal dispute resolution resource for a specific entity. They are accessible to a defined population and can advocate for fairness. These unique characteristics distinguish Organizational Ombuds from Classical Ombuds, mediators, arbitrators, and other alternative dispute resolution professionals. The term "Ombuds" is shorthand for "Ombudsman," "Ombudsperson" and "Ombuds Officer," which also are used widely.
